A guard of the Shey Phoksundo National Park and a Tibetan traditional healer converse about the geographical and religious meanings of various territorial markers. The cairn next to them marks out the path for yak herds moving to summer pastures. It also alerts passers-by to the dangerousness of the promontory and is a deferential testimony of humans to the spirits of the place.
